What athletes have gone far despite having the 'wrong' body type for their sport?
e.g.
Chiyonofuji: sumo wrestler with low body fat
Mike Tyson: heavyweight boxer who is short

Walter Payton
edit: he was small for a power back at 5’10” 200lbs. No one thought someone that size would do what he did in the NFL.
That man was a joy to watch. Hell, the '85 Bears were probably the most entertaining NFL team of all time.
Cocky, asshole quarterback that threw heat-seeking missiles, a household appliance for a lineman, old-school tough-guy coach, MTv video, solid Super Bowl win, all that. Gods, so much more. "Yep. Singletary again. Figured."
One of the few plays I ever remember was I think the '85 championships? Maybe the Super Bowl? The defense tried to fucking kill that asshole McMahon. Hit him so hard he spun horizontally like a pinwheel. "Holy shit! Can they get away with that?!"
Another win, which was a foregone thing, they handed the ball to The Refrigerator and he walked it in. Dudes hanging all over him, just kept walking.
They simply whipped everyone who took the field. LOL, no one tuned in to see if they would win, we tuned in to see a 55-gallon barrel of whoop-ass opened on the opposition.
